IOS Upgrade for Cisco 6509 switch

Hi NetPro fellows -

I will be upgrading the IOS of two cisco 6509 switches from c6msfc2-jk2sv-mz.121-13.E14.bin to s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF13.bin . However the existing bootflash only has 32mb capacity and when i do a "show bootflash" i got two entries which i think is the IOS and bootloader image files.

c6sup22-jk2sv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin

c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-27b.E1.bin

Questions:

1. Is an external flash be available for the 6509 switch to store the new IOS(s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF13.bin ) which is 64mb in size?

2. Do i need to also configure the bootloader image after the new IOS has been placed?
